Comment:

This man is a horrible professor, he rambles and teaches too fast. He doesn't really care if you need help he kind of just says "do it yourself". He lets you drop 2 quizes which is awesome but if you tanked them all you're sckrewed...GOOD LUCKK avoid this class!

Very nice man and pretty easy class. He moves fast so pay attention but he's always willing to help. Quizzes and tests are really easy as long as you go to class because he goes over everything. Class can get kind of boring but just follow along and you'll do fine.

Worst teacher ever! Teaches way too fast, and gets mad when you asks questions, gets annoyed very easily, tests are very hard and not what we go over in class. Never checks homework, and doesnt even really go over it. Avoid if possible!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

I took him for 251 first, and it was a little difficult. Then I took him for 205, and I thought it was a lot easier because I already knew his teaching style. You need to pay attention to undertstand because you will have quizzes about every 3 weeks. He goes a little fast but if you ask questions he'll go over it, and in his office if you need help

Easiest class I have ever taken. Tests are easy as long as you pay attention. Easy A. Very helpful at explaining if you don't understand. Always get out 15 to 20 minutes early.

He's pretty good at explaining the information in the class. The tests are hard but he curves. We were somewhat confused on what to do for some of the projects but he was pretty lenient. Overall an okay teacher.

Great prof! Just the right speed, kept class interesting. Projects were pretty easy (don't sweat the last one so much), and tests were appropriate level. Just take good notes and review them and you'll be fine. I enjoyed class a lot! Just keep up, and a high B/A are a cinch. Def reccommend this guy!

Kinda boring subject, but somehow he finds a way to keep you interested. Granted if you miss a class you will be extremely far behind. But if you pay attention and review a little before tests youll do fine!

Comment:

One of the best teachers at TU. Extremely nice, great sense of humor, and is willing to help if you ask. Provides plenty of practice, review for tests, and constantly reinforces previous material. Does not make you feel stupid if you ask questions and encourages helping each other. Not difficult if you put forth some effort. Highly recommended!

Comment:

to those who talk badly about this prof. i think they are slackers. of course he takes attend, he never finish teaching early. He does go fast when teaching, but u can slow him down and he would be happy to answer ur question. I have 99% in that class, and will take another math course w/ him next semester.

He goes really fast and doesn't spend much time on questions during class. Theres a lot of homework but it doesn't get checked. He's cool about leaving early and does not have an atendence policy. He has tons of office hours and always respondes to emails if you need help.

Comment:

This man goes wayyyyyyyyyyy to fast. If you ask him a question he spends about .5 seconds answering it and then moves on. His test are really hard and he doesn't drop the lowest grade or let you do test corrections. There is a ton of homework too. The only good part is that he doesn't mind if you leave early or if you don't come to class.

Comment:

he's a pretty good teacher, but he does go really fast sometimes. he has a lot of office hours and will help you if you ask. he's fairly easy-going about missing classes and leaving early, etc. although you are responsible for getting the assignments and notes. his tests are okay, but i don't think they are extremely hard.
